Ten years ago, Beth’s age was one half that of Chelsea. If C represents Chelsea’s current age, which of the following represents Amy’s current age? 1. c/6 + 5 2. 2c 3. (c-10)/3 4. 3c-5 5. 5c/3 – 10 Chelsea's current age is C. 10 yrs back...chelsea's age will be C-10. 10 yrs back..given that Beth will be half of Chelsea. So C-10/2. 5 yrs back Beth's age will be (C-10)/2 +5) =C/2 which gives C/2. Let us assume that Amy's current age is x.5 yrs back it will be x-5.Given that Beth will be 3 times as that of Amy 5 yrs back..,so 3x-15. So now equate Beth's age in terms of Amy and Chelsea 5 yrs back.... 3x-15=C/2 3x=C/2 + 15 3x=(C+30)/2 x=(C+30)/6 X=C/6 + 5 is the answer...... Three strings of musical instrument vibrates 6,8 and 12 times a second respectively. if all the three begins to vibrate simultaneously, find the shortest time interval before all the three vibrate together again... a) 1/4 s 2)1/2 s 3)24s 4)48s 5)96sas its given that one string vibrates 6 times in 1 sec. so it vibrates once in 1/6 sec same for second string @ 1/8 sec. third string @ 1/12 sec now the shortest time interval can be derived by finding the hcf of all three above that gives u 1/2 sec. {{{ 3^n + 4 is divisible by 5 find the value of n a) 23 b) 24 c) 25 d) 26 e) 27 Any number which is divisible by 5 has 5 or 0 in it's units place...so 3^4 should have 1 or 6 in it's units place so that the last digit of 3^n + 4 is 5 or 0...So we have to find out by checking the options.... 3 has a series of 3,9,7,1(units place of powers of 3..,this series is a cyclic one)... Let me explain.... a) Lets verify option a..., 3^23.., so 23 divided 4(dividing by 4 because .., 3 will be having 4 different numbers in it's units place...) gives 3 as a remainder..,so 3rd number of the sequence(3,9,7,1)..so 7 is the units digit of this 3^23...,so 7+4 =11....,1 will be in unit's place..,which is not divisible by 5... so this is not the answer... b) 3^24.., 24 divided by 4 gives a remainder 0..., if we get the reminder 0.., we should take the last number of the sequence...so last number of sequence means 1..so 3^24 has 1 in its units place... so 1+4 gives 5 in it's units place.., so the number is divisible by 5.... So b is the answer.... the other options are not satisfying too... So option b is the answer...one question on Standard Deviation K--(p,2p,3p,4p...)

Then it is cut in 1 by 1 by 1 cube. Now u randomly picks a cube and then in that cube u randomly pick a face. Whats the prob that it is colored. Ans: 16*6/64*6=1/4this is with regards to the cube problem....guys ull r js complicating a simple logic. To find total no. of coloured faces: On each face of big cube (4x4x4 cube) there are 16 faces of small cubes (1x1x1 cubes). Now total no. of faces of big cube=6. Therefore, total no. of coloured faces=16x6. its as simple as that. Total no . of faces=64x6 (because 64 small cubes) Total no. of faces with no colour=(64x6)-(16x6)=48x6=288 Now u can find the probability for any damn question askd.If 15 nos have mean m and std dev s; m>s, if 25nos have mean n and std dev l ;n>l, then if the two sets combined of 40 elements has std dev c and mean d cola colb c dThe perimeter of a right isosceles triangle is 1+root2.what is the area of the triangle.In a sequence a number is one greater than the preceding number. there are 99 numbers in the sequence and the sum of the 99 number's is 99 what is the 1st number in the sequence.There are 4 faculty and 5 students. in how many ways a group of 1 faculty and 3students be formed.3/4 of a company is part-time employees and 3/8 employees are temporary colA colB what part of employees are part-time and not temporary ½Soln: if we take 32 then 3/4*32=24 & 3/8*32=12 12 are included in 24 so, only part time workers are 24-12=12 ratio= 24/32=0.375 & col b 1/2 = 0.5 So,ans is B3/4 part-time employees.

A)n=100,s=100 B)n=100,s=400 C)n=400,s=100 D)n=400,s=400N is multiple of 7 and n=(s^2)*t whr both s and t are prime no.s . Which of the foll will be a multiple of 49? options are s^2*t^2 , s^4 , s^2*t , etc The answer i got was (s^2)*(t^2). n is a multiple of 7 and so s^2*t=7k, where k is some integer. since 7 is prime, s^2 cant be 7, so t should be 7 or its multiple. let us assume t was 7. 7k = s^2*t multiplying both sides by 7 49k = s^2*t*7 since we have assumed t to be 7, it becomes 49k = s^2*t^2 If t was not assumed to be 7, the answer would ve been 49k=s^2*t*7 or some k*t*7of 30 applicants for a job, 14 had at least 4 years experience, 18 had degrees, and 3 had less than 4 years experience and did not have a degree.How many of the applicants had at least 4 years experience and a degree.

If the price of oil rises at 10% a month, and the price of diesel is unchanged, how many months will it take until a gallon of oil costs more than a gallon of diesel? Ans – 3a parallelogram ABCD with sides 1 each is divided such that 2 > equiletral triangle forms now find distance of longest side i.e AC The side AC will be equal to 1. AC is the common side and it has to be equal to the other sides of the triangle AB and BC. AB and BC are also side of the parallelogram. AB=BC=AC=1.ORlongest side is the trick word here. If the side is longer than 1, the triangle is not equilateral anymore. the angles of the parallelogram will be 60,120,60,120. So, AC will be the digonal joining A and C ie the two 120 degree angles. hence the parallelogram is split into two equilateral triangles.

Column A: x Column B: 10 i think col A is greater, since its said, x is the largest no. for any current value of x such tat 6^x is divisible by 252^5, we can always have a larger value of x, say x'=k*x, where k is some positive integer, so that 6^x' is also divisible by 252^5If X is prime and N × X is both the square of an integer and the cube of an integer, where N is a positive integer, what is the greatest possible value of 1/(N × X) ? I am getting the ans as 1/64. Let me know if you find some discrepancy in my method. for 1/(N x X) to be greatest, (N x X) should be least. Say X=2, a prime we need NxX which is both a perfect square and perfect cube. 64 is the first no, which is a perfect square and a perfect cube. also N=32 is a positive integer. so ans could very well be 1/6411th july quant hyderabad today i wrote my exam got 790 in quant. DI was a bit difficult. some of the questions i could remember (1) In a company 20% are male's ,60 new people are added to the company of whom 50 are male's,the ratio of male's isto female's before adding the 60 people is 1:4. the ratio after adding 60 people is 1:3. total no. of employees in the company? a)700 b)840 c)360 other options i don't rememberThe answer has to be 700 or 760(by adding 60)Here is the solution. Let total number of employees be T now, as per intial condition, number of males = 20% of total => M = T/5 and initial number of feamles : F = 4T/5 {given ratio of male to female s 1:4} now when 60 new workers are added 50 are male and 10 are female: Therefore.. M' = (T/5) + 50 = (T+250)/5 F' = (4T/5) + 10 = (4T + 50)5 new ratio is 1:3 therefore : (T +250)/ (4T+50) = 1/3 solve & u'll get T = 700 (2) x-2<2 find the range of x? ans:0can any one explain me this i do have exam tomm itself (5) the cost of X books is $1.00 and the cost of Y books is $3.00. total cost of sales of the books is $336.00. what is the max. no. of books that can be sold on that day? a)22 b)20 i don't remember other optionsX+3Y = 336 we shld find max of (X+Y) = 336 - 2Y Y shld be minimum for 336 -2Y to be minimum so max no .of books sold is 336how many integers between 1 and 2000 inclusive are both the squares and cubes of any integer 1.3 2.4 3.12 4.21 5...dun remember d ans is 3 cube= 1,8,27,64,125,216,343,512,729,1000,1331,1728 sqrs= 1,64,729 <1^2,8^2,27^2>answers to my prev post are 1)ques hav some prob 2)modulus id always positive so -2< (x-2) <2 0if 1000 cubic inches of water flow in a cylindrical tank per min and the water level rises by 0.01 inches in one min.find the radius of the tank Ans: 180volume is 1000 rise is .01 here is vol of water =pi r^2 h ie this becomes a small cylinder of ht, h 1000/pi h =r^2 round abt comes to b 178solve above equation the cost of a cup is twice that of saucer. if the cost of cup increases by 13% and that of saucer is increased by 19% by how much % would the cost of 6 cups and 6 saucers increase. a) 7% b) 7.5% c) 15% d) 16% e) 16.5%ANS is (c). = 15 %.
